Hi Dave,

We usually do the "go 'round" option and try to avoid hitting cities
during "rush" hour. Going to have to deal with Chicago at some point;
we've got a donation to make to the Chicago Public Library. When my
maternal grandmother died, her daughters donated some of the family
paperwork (books of poems, etc) to the Library. A few years ago when my
dad passed away, we were up for the funeral and found my younger brother
burning papers from my aunt's apartment. We rescued a box--found out it
was more of my great grandfather's writings, including the handwritten
manuscript for a 4th (unpublished) book. We figure he passed away before
it could be published. CPL has copies of the first 3, including the
scarce 3rd, and in 2019 said they would welcome the additional papers.
Well, covid hit, then this and that, hopefully we'll get there next
year.

When we went to Germany, we got a multi system set so we could watch
German (and in Berlin, British) tv. That one finally died, IIRC, when we
were in HI, where, it was fun, with cable, to watch Asian channels, as
well as a German one. Saw some of the original (in Japanese, with no
translation) Iron Chef shows.

I'll rescue my goose from the supermarket, thank you very much. When my
mother started working in the school library, she started buying a goose
(instead of) turkey for Christmas dinner. We'd go to her mother's for
Thanksgiving so had turkey there and ham was served varioous times
during the year so I guess she wanted something different--but the
traditional German Christmas dinner. She did all the sides generally
associated with an American Thanksgiving dinner with the goose but it
didn't last as long as a turkey and couldn't hold as much stuffing
(usually only one meal's worth).
